Bottle. Very nice creamy vanilla aroma. Black colour, small head. The flavour is a lot like aroma, vanilla, wood, cream. Low carbonation and a soft, even silky mouthfeel. This was very nice.

Rating # 4000. Huge thankx to Bierkönig and Keller for sharing this one. The beer has a pitch black colour with a small dense brown head. Quite fruity and light roastede malty aroma with vinous notes and a hint of wood. Roasted malty, liqourice spicy flavor with vinous notes and a light alcohol sweet finish with wood notes. This is, I’m sure, what they drink in heaven....

Thnx to caesar for this one. Great gift for my birthday. 2006 version. Dark black colored, pours oily. Very smooth and interesting aroma, some fruits, sweetness, mocca, chocolate and some coffee. The flavor is in one word, unforgettable. Bitterness is smooth, creamy. Dark malts, chocolate, mocca, coffee and a vanilla sweetness with some hints of fruits. Great balanced and complex flavor. Really great.

Bottle @ Sthlm BWF -07. Black with dark brown head. Strong roasted aroma. Powerfull body. Coffee, chocolate, herbs and rosted malt. Long finish

Bottle 񢉗) shared with coyotehunter (thanks!!!) on departure for fishing. Pours thick and dark brown with a slow forming head and aromas that are spectacular. Chocolate, dark fruit, a bit of peat, wood and cream to it, with lots of chocolate milk throughout. Simply put, this is fantastic stuff and they should bottle more of it and send it all to me. Alcohol hides extremely well, flavors blend perfectly.

Bottle vintage 2005 from a blind tasting @ Bishop’s Arms, Malmö. Pours a black color with a lovely tan head. Has a roasted malty aroma with lots of chocolate and coffee and some honey hints in the background. Also some hints of dark fruit. Sweet roasted malty thick mouthfeel of chocolate, coffee and some oak hints. In the background you have the honey flavor aswell. Finish is dry roasted malty with some hints of alcohol and some nice bitterness in the aftertaste.

2006 Bottle bought at GBBF 07. Black colour with a thin tan head. Intense choc aroma. Like the highest cocoa chocolate you can buy, plus a distinct heather aroma. A little bit of petrol and tar too. Opened with very little carbonation but carbonation is evident in the glass. I’ve had this twice before at GBBF and at RBESG and both times I was blown away by it. Serving temperature is very important. Too cold and you lose a lot of depth of flavour. Pours oily, clear dark brown. Heathery aroma is quite distinct. Lovely in mouth, but for me, the outstanding thing about this beer is the finish and is possibly the best finish I have tasted. Breath taking. It stops me in my tracks. As it warms up, the beer opens up and the aroma and finish are truly sublime. Gorgeous, lovely and I have another 2 bottles to hone my review. Heather gives it a final spicy kick. Worthy as my 4k beer.

Thanks to Fransios for this bottle. Shared with friends. Wonderful dark dark pour with decent brown head. Aromas were chocolate, anise, dark fruit. Flavors were all there. Some coffee and dark sugar flavors. So rich and thick. Very very good
